does anyone know the ratio of japanese to american make for the z?

 

Do you mean the ratio of Z's made in Japan vs in the US? If so, I believe all Z's are made in Japan.

 

+1

 

no, what i meant was how many parts on one Z are made in the US vs Japan...but i suppose if theyre all made in japan then theyre 100% eastern?

 

US/Japan
3/50
Z

 

i dont know for the Z but i have seen for many new cars they have a sticker for %parts content for US and %for what ever country they come from..

many have just enough us parts to meet some federal guideline..

example: Parts content: 75% japan 25% US assempled in US

 

i was at the dealership a few weeks ago and i saw a parts origin sticker for the Z and all the parts, including motor, tranny and chassis was made in japan. and i do believe the assembly plant is in tochigi japan. however on the sticker it says final assembly point was in los angeles.

 

please read your VIN... it says where your Z is made....

 

i dont have a z to have a vin to read lol but i do appreciate the info, thanks

 

i was told 100% in japan. made and parts. thats probably why the Z rules

 

The Z is made in Tochigi, Japan. I was there the past summer for a tour. It is possible, but unlikely, there are US part in the car. Becasue of the cost, it is more likely it would have parts from other countries, like China, Korea. That's just my guess.

 

Yes, the sticker's on the Z's all say the final assembly point as the shipping dock in which the car arrived onto the US. My final assembly point says Los Angeles as well. Not sure why it says final assembly point, because the car was already completely built in Japan and just brought over, but maybe they had to go through some inspections after it arrived. Others have said that the cars are shipped over without some things such as windshield wiper fluid, that they add once they are received stateside.

 

I believe mine says Oppama, Japan or something like that.

 

When the Z first came out in late 2002 (as 03 model), they were made in the Oppama plant, which is not far from Yokohama. They moved the production to Tochigi sometime in 2004. All 2005 and newer models are made in Tochigi.
